User Reviews

For Al Adamson fans who shout "Never Say Die!".

SATAN'S SADISTS has to come down in history as THE Al Adamson masterpiece. It also comes down as more of the same. With the dialogue so bland, it speaks for some stronger profanity coming out of its mouth. Take my word and forget this thing if you hate all the crappy biker movies of the past thirty years. But it has a story, and a fair reference to the Greydon "Acid" Clark 80s film SKINHEADS. By the way, Clark did act before serving time as a successful director of drive-in filmfare including SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS, THE HI-RIDERS, and JOYSTICKS. Die-hard biker film loonies will enjoy it. The rest of you, hit the road!
